   I really do like this. It's a nice concept and it's carried out very well. Jane Levy is great and Cheryl Hines is always fantastic. A great show for those interested.… Expand

   The show is very well-executed (cleverly cast, written, and directed), but I question whether it's worth executing in the first place. For the past 60 years, films, books, plays, songs, and TV shows have satirized the conformity and superficiality of suburbia, so most of us get the point already, thanks, and need a pretty compelling reason to revisit such well-trodden (albeit beautifully landscaped) ground. I had hoped the participation of Jeremy Sisto might signal a genuinely fresh and edgy take on the subject, but, no, here we are again in the rhinoplastic land we know so well, where no one walks, all housewives are horny, the mall is the promised land, and it's too damn quiet in the morning. Our requisite city-slicker witnesses alternate anthropological dispassion with horrified revulsion, and the only new element is not a good one: a final, sentimental acknowledgment that, sometimes, beneath suburbia's plastic breasts, beats a real heart. No, I'm not making that up, and, yeah, I cringed, too. On the plus side, there are some pitch-perfect caricatures, such as a salon-groomed mom singing bad*ss gangsta lyrics in the family sedan, and the show has an exuberant visual style, with bright colors and clever choreography. The leads are charming, and, though I'm not that interested in charm by itself, I suspect it may win the show enough fans to keep it afloat--at least until they realize that they have been in "Suburgatory" before and might actually prefer hell.… Expand

   I recorded the first episode last night based on critics review of 72. After watching it, I have to assume that this score with crash down once other critics chime in. This show was terrible. The jokes were pretty crass of the time slot and the position between the middle and modern family. Also, they just were not funny. The editing it choppy and the setup is lame. The best thing I can compare it to is Cougar Town. If you like that, watch this. If you like this type of humor, try Louise. Louise is vulgar, dark and crass, but is very funny. This show will not be around long if it does not get better.… Expand
